The sun still shines in the summertime / I'll be yours if you'll be mine

[yuuago]

Lately LJ has been giving me problems - late comments, sometimes comments not even showing up at all until a day after they're left. So if it seems I'm ignoring you, really I'm not, it's just that LJ's being an ass.

Many thanks to those who had kind words to say about the cancellation of my summer plans. Really, though it's a disappointment, it isn't a big deal. I'll live. ;p With a whole 'nother year to plan, I bet Minni and I will be able to ensure it's extra-awesome. Hell, maybe I could even make arrangements to swing by and see some other people in the country, too... Well okay, I guess I wouldn't really be able to work that out, but it's nice to daydream about.

This week has been up and down and up and down and I'm so frustrated and stressed out but somehow I'm managing to make things out okay. In the next couple days I really plan to crack down on schoolwork. Beltane is Saturday; I keep forgetting that (and keep getting reminded). Even though I don't celebrate that one formally - Solstices and Equinoxes are my big celebrations - it'd still be nice to have that day free to just do whatever I want.

I just can hardly wait until things settle down. I have things I want to do. Writing and roleplaying aside, I want to take time to do my summer cleaning. I need to repair some parts in the washroom - yes, I could call maintenance, but the people my landlord hires just do a slap-job of everything, and I could do better. Need to put everything in order. And I want to visit my family. Even though my mother is absolutely bonkers, I still love her, and I miss my dad, and I want to see my brother again even if we never really have anything to talk about. Urgh, I feel weird being all "I miss my mommy" kinda' thing, but well. Family is family.

On a much lighter note, the Canadiens won against the Capitals today. Yessss. They play again on... Friday, I think? Maybe if I get a lot of work done I'll be able to keep an eye on it. 8D I've been kind of casually following everything - Ari's flailing on twitter helps (hah). And since the Canadiens beat the Caps that's now two drinks she owes me. Awesoooome. I'm totally going to hold her to it if she ever makes her way up here, too. Though I dunno' how I'd be after two drinks - last time I had that much, I stayed up the entire night commenting to Moona and I think the only thing that saved me from making a complete ass out of myself was the fact that writing comments on an iTouch is difficult and awkward.

I miss my mum too :<

I'm sorry to hear about your summer plans, I know how much you were looking forward to it. But yeah, I bet you guys can make it even more awesome now!

I like this new icon of yours.

[yuuago]

SIGH. We can miss our mums together. :<

(Ngl I'm rather fond of it myself)

And also HI CHAI HI
I feel like I never see you enough any more. :|

[chikotori.livejournal.com]

I only talk to her once a week but I still hardly ever have anything to say because my life is so boring right now :<
and yes, she's always asking me what I've been eating too.
(tomorrow I can tell her I tried making roasted broccoli. Which is Delicious, btw.)

HI YUU HI
I've been in a rather foul and glum mood these past few days so idk, feels more awkward than usual to chat. Been deleting a lot of comments with out posting them, haha. I need to snap out of this.

Saa saa, my mum expects me to have all this interesting stuff to say when I talk to her and it's like... what. You know I don't do anything all day, why expect me to have something to say to you? :|

OH I SEE. Yeah, I uh, haven't been feeling all that great either, sob.
We're a real piece of work. :|

At least my mum understands it when I tell her that my days are extremely boring. She probably expects it. And she reads my moods amazingly well which always makes me feel a little guilty.

YEAH :| If you were here or if I were there we would be getting drunk together.

/awkward e-hugs

[yuuago]

Yeahhh mine is like... I don't even know, man. It's like, "What were you expecting?"

MAN. I WISH I COULD GET DRUNK WITH YOU.
... but not today. :| Need to get lots of work done so that I'll be free to watch hockey tomorrow, ffff.

[chikotori.livejournal.com]

I would like to see you drunk dohohoho ≖◡≖

You Canadians and your hockey.
Go on and do your work... aaannnd I should be doing the same.

Though I missed when it actually happened, I'm sorry about your summer problems. Money does ruin everything. And plans that fall through are really rough, especially when they're a long time in the making. *hugs* But, if you can do it bigger and better next year, that's good!

Best of luck keeping on top of things, too - it's that time of year, isn't it? Visiting family is almost as good for recharging as it is for driving you up a wall, too. (If I remember, your mom sounds like a really sweet lady.)

Hope things come together for you <3

I'm trying to think of it less as plans being cancelled, and more like just... moved back. Clearly Finland just needs more time to prepare to receive my Awesome Self. ;)

Yeah, that time of year - and what with the whole grad school thing, it's harder than I'm used to, second year be damned. But I'll manage! (As for my mum, well... she has this thing where she wants the best for me but a lot of the time what she thinks is best isn't really what's best for me at all, if you know what I mean. But aside from that she's pretty okay)
